WASHINGTON - A watchdog group says it will file a complaint with federal election officials, accusing two conservative organizations of illegally helping Ralph Nader (news - web sites)'s presidential campaign, possibly with support from President Bush (news - web sites)'s re-election campaign.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington planned to file its complaint Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission (news - web sites). It says the Oregon Family Council and Citizens for a Sound Economy violated election laws last week by telephoning people and urging them to help Nader get on Oregon's ballot in November.


Spokesmen for both groups denied wrongdoing.


Both groups acknowledge trying to influence Nader's petition drive Saturday in Oregon, in hopes that getting him on the ballot would take votes away from Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) and help Bush win the battleground state.

1. Citizens for a Sound Economy? Supporting Bush?

LOL! I find that funny! The names these conservative groups come up with are awfully funny.

I hope Nader, Bush and these 2 conservative groups finally get exposed nationally.

3. And Yet, My Friend

There are still those who say the left thing to do is vote for Wrecker Nader....

"LET;'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

4. Those who say such things are only fooling themselves, Sir

And also the few who are ignorant enough not to be educated by these incidents. They can't handle the truth. There has to be some super-liberal savior out there somewhere in their minds. Kind of like a cult I suppose?

11. Can any of the Naderites here explain all the help

Nader is getting from very bad people??? How can anyone with support Nader when he is being supported by bush and company????

[NNN0LHI]

12. I don't think the "Nader supporters" here will comment on this stuff

Not sure why? Perhaps it is because the "Nader supporters" here really are not "Nader supporters" but in fact they are Bush supporters. We are on an anonymous board so there is no way of knowing for sure. Something to think about.

14. Great quote from the article:

...from the Oregon Family Council guy:

"I had my volunteers call and encourage them to go to the (Nader) convention, but I don't think that's federal election activity," he said.

He's got a point. :D Nothing about Nader's campaign rises to the level of federal activity. ;)
